   I had a problem with alot of white smoke coming out of my exhaust a while back when i first got my vtr. Got new headgasket fitted and it still carried on. then eventually it stopped. I swapped my decat pipe onto it today and now its smoking more than it was to begin with. The headgasket was done literally about ten miles ago as I havent got my license yet so havent been driving it. Any ideas what it could be?

   exhaust may be full of water from initial head gasket failure and its just boiling off inside the system

   Possibly with it sitting water is in the exhaust and is evaporating when exhaust gets warm. Take it for a good drive and fingers crossed
   It will clear up.

   But how come it stopped doing it, then started again as soon as i swapped to the decat pipe, i wondered if it was something to do with having taken the cat out.
